Instructions / Assembly
FENCE EXTENSIONS
Use timber or metal posts in windy areas.
OPTION 1: Fence with 4" x 4" posts
extending above the fence
1. Add 2" x 4" cross rails between posts to
create top and bottom of extension frame.
2. Create a 1" x 1" or 2" x 2" border casing
and attach to frame securing the panel
between the casing.
OPTION 2: Existing fence without extended posts
1. Attach 2" x 4" timber extension posts to one or
both sides of the fence extending 16"– 24" down
from top of the fence. Fasten with bolts every 12"–18".
2. Attach a 2" x 4" top rail to top of posts and 2" x 4" cross
rails between posts along top of fence to create frame.
3. Build border casing and secure panels per Option 1, #2 above.
4. In non-windy areas, 1" x 2" or 2" x 2" post extensions
and rails can be used to build a frame to hold panels
with 16"–24" metal straps added. Use straps
on both sides of fence for a more secure installation.
Fence extension installation examples are suggestions only.
Modify for your fence requirements or consult a professional.

WINDOW-FRAME – Set panels inside frame
OPTION 1:
Cut a recessed channel in all
posts and rails to hold panel edges.
OPTION 2:
Build a 1" x 1" or 2" x 2"
border casing and attach to frame with
the panel secured inside the casing.
ATTACHING TO AN EXISTING MASONRY WALL
Check that wall is flat, square, and level, and can support the
panels' weight. Build a timber or metal frame. Pre-drill wall with
masonry bit and use masonry screws to attach frame. Mount
panels to frame. Use this method for mounting panels on large
gates, heavy garage doors, or other sizable moving structures.
ATTACHING TO A SKELETAL STRUCTURE OR STUD WALL
Use the framing method above and attach your frame to the structure’s studs.
